It's like you had a faucet with cross section of 2 square inches, and 15 seconds with that faucet wide open would fill a jug. That jug holds 30 squareinches-seconds of water.

You may then use that water over the course of a day. That's 30 sqin-sec per day. That is not 30 square inches for a whole day. It's second per day.

Or watt hour per week or whatever.

Yes, it can be described like 0.00034722 sqin/day, and that corresponds to no physical object and that would be largely useless.

Why not Joules or Liters? Because that's complicated for anything electrical.
